A New Approach to Annual Mandatory Training

Manage Conflicts of Interest

Automate the COI disclosure and management process.

American Thoracic Society

Healthcare organizations may face many daunting COI challenges, and that's especially true of medical associations. The American Thoracic Society (ATS) is a membership organization of volunteers whose time must be respected. It’s important, therefore, for ATS to avoid duplication and redundancy in information-gathering. That's why ATS chose to adopt a versatile Conflicts of Interest Disclosure system that values time and money.

Managing Conflicts of Interest

The management of conflicts of interest involves annual (or more frequent) surveys to solicit financial disclosures from employees, physicians, and researchers. These disclosures are then evaluated by appropriate reviewers to determine whether real or perceived conflicts of interest exist. When such conflicts are identified, management plans are devised to mitigate or eliminate the conflicts. Automate this often cumbersome, manual, and labor intensive process with COI-SMART.
